Angry Birds Seasons Cherry Blossom Update Coming Soon

Rovio has confirmed via Twitter and their blog that we should expect a Japanese-themed Angry Birds Seasons Cherry Blossom update on March 7th. That means it’s slated to arrive even before Angry Birds Space touches down on March 22nd. This will be the first Japanese-themed episode of Angry Birds and it’s set to arrive just before Japan’s cherry blossom trees are set to bloom.

A few more details about the forthcoming Cherry Blossom update merged since the original post. This episode will be set in the shadow of Mt. Fuji and include 15 new levels and two bonus levels (presumably one Golden Egg and one surprise level that is unlocked after achieving 3 stars on all levels). The update will be available for iOS, Android, and Symbian^3, and Chrome; although, we’re not sure what order — or when — said platforms might receive this update. We also expect other platforms will receive this update within a few days. It’s definitely interesting to see Chrome in the list, as it has traditionally not been included in these type of updates.

As always, it will be awesome to see what they do with this update. I’ve always said, there is nothing like crushing bento boxes with my Sumo birds while sipping on a pipping hot cup of green tea. Okay, I haven’t always said that. Anyhow, if I were the Emperor Pig I would be very afraid.

I think they said ‘later this week’ because of all the different time zones and the difficulty/complication in pinning a time (as they are doing for Space I do think it will be released on the 7th, just not sure whose 7th they use

depends a ‘scheduled release’ will update GC when the game arrives on the app store, as it will be pre-confirmed by GC. Otherwise, Rovio push the GC update a bit earlier to ensure it is ready in time for when the app update comes out. Judging by the lack of changes in GC, I’m guessing (hoping!) its the former! :)

When I read Slim’s first hint that it might arrive on March 7th, I was so disappointed, it seemed ages away!

That was what, a week ago, maybe two? Now tomorrow is the 7th (where I am) and I keep thinking, “that was quick.”
I’m 40, and a professional, but i actually feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

(of course if I told my friends and family this, they’d think I was ridiculous, certifiable even… So we won’t tell them; they’ll just wonder why I’m sneaking into the washroom every half hour (checking for updates))

I’m even older than you, and I feel the same way. My kids want to get up at midnight just so they can play it. I keep telling them there is no way to guarantee when it will be updated though. (I might get up early tomorrow though)

I also feel the same way that you do. I am 41 years old and also a professional, but i feel like a kid in christmas eve when an angry Birds update is near, i can´t even sleep until it’s released (i am from Mexico).

@loox, 47 here and feel the same way. The only problem is I have been working 12-14 hours a day for the last few weeks, and it looks like for the next couple of weeks. Will have to find a way to “sneak” some birding in.

12 to 14 hrs! You’ve got to be kidding! If you’re self-employed that’s one thing, but if you work for someone else it’s entirely different. I was a work-alcoholic once, but was cured by too much work with too little reward. If you are self-employeed, you need to consider what the root cause of your “having” to work so many hours is. Best wishes.

In an attempt to avoid the “all apps are up to date” message, I try to stay away from the app store and come here instead. I know someone will post as soon as the update is available, and it’s nice to share the addiction with others. My friends have long written me off as inexplicably crazy about the birds.

I am still a little disappointed to see that Eagle icon in the pics and know that I have to wait a while for it to appear on my phone. If it doesn’t come out by June, I am switching to an iOS device. I want it that bad :(

No Valentine’s update for 2012, with the Cherry Blossom update I imagine it is safe to say that there wont be a St Patrick’s Day update. How about an Easter update? Angry Birds Seasons is starting to feel less seasonsal…
